Kan. man sentenced for robbing same bank he held up 8 years ago

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A Wichita man is going back to prison for robbing the same bank he held up eight years ago.

The U.S. attorney’s office says in a news release that 52-year-old Mark Finnigin was sentenced Wednesday to 63 months after pleading guilty during the same hearing to robbing Emprise Bank on July 22, 2014.

Prosecutors say he entered the bank and demanded $10,000. Before the clerk could finish putting the cash on the counter, he took $4,000 and fled. A surveillance camera at a nearby store recorded him getting into a minivan.

This is the same bank Finnigin robbed in 2007. He got 51 years in prison for that robbery.
